Toscani Interior Services Warns Scottsdale Homeowners About Unlicensed Contractors

With winter bringing seasonal residents back to the Valley and many homeowners scheduling bathroom updates before spring, Toscani Interior Services is urging Scottsdale residents to confirm a contractor's license and get the details in writing before any work begins. The company, an owner-led bathroom remodeling firm serving Scottsdale, Phoenix, Mesa, Chandler, and Glendale, Arizona, is particularly concerned about the busy season when unlicensed operators are more likely to offer quick, low-cost work.

Toscani Interior Services, which provides bathroom remodels, tile and flooring, bathtub remodels, and tub-to-shower conversions, recommends that homeowners follow the Arizona Registrar of Contractors' guidance. According to the agency, homeowners should review a contractor's license record using the agency's Contractor Search and ensure the contractor's license class allows for the work listed in the contract. The Registrar also advises getting written estimates from at least three contractors, making sure the price, the responsibility for obtaining building permits, and other relevant terms are spelled out in a written contract, and never paying in cash.

Nick Kolziu, the owner of Toscani Interior Services, emphasized the importance of due diligence.

The company recommends that homeowners planning a bathroom remodel ask how waterproofing, permits, and change orders will be handled, and keep copies of every estimate, contract, and payment. Even for smaller projects like bathtub restoration, homeowners should confirm the scope and materials in writing, especially when the job takes only a few days. For those replacing a tub with a walk-in shower for easier access, a tub-to-shower conversion project often involves plumbing changes that should be clearly described in the contract.

Toscani Interior Services offers complimentary estimates and can be reached at (480) 885-8500. The company, led by an owner with more than 15 years of experience, provides bathroom remodels, tile and flooring, bathtub remodels, and tub-to-shower conversions in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
